Railroad Holdup On This Day In Oregon

On this winter day in 1907 the northbound O.R. & N. train was held up by armed citizens of the community of Adams in Umatilla County. Made desperate by the long-continued fuel famine caused by a prolonged and sever cold spell, the party seized one carload of coal consigned to Eugene Tausick at Walla Walla.
